1. I disagree with you Erminia ~ there is a self, though this ground of experience is not something frictively personal, as it were, certainly not so affirmatively individual as generally imagined. It'll need time for me to excerpt the notes from Genoa so far. 2. I don't see that your description of the evolution of the different poetic personalities really refutes what I say about high-level hysteria and acting, Kerry, but I found your description and explanation of Pessoa very illuminating in its clarity, and I recognize the sense of your avoidance of psychologism. I didn't mean by "kept it to poetry writing" anything so rigidly demarcating as "only writing in verse"; nevertheless I must confess my change of attitude after reading your words. Martin
